We just finished a big roast dinner and ice cream cake for desert in honour of my Son's 5th birthday. It's so hard to believe that he's 5!! And soon my youngest baby boy will be 3, that means no more babies in the house :( I'd like to say that means no more waking in the middle of the night but since my youngest suffers from night terrors quiet nights aren't always a reality...not yet anyway.
Anyhow, here is my entry for Everything But the Kitchen Sink. Winter is putting on a valentine card drive for the kids at St. Jude Hospital so I would really encourage you to take a peak at her blog. You don't have to participate in the Card drive to participate in EBTKS and a chance to win a prize.At first sight, I have to be honest and say I had no idea what I was going to do with it. It was such a simple sketch which is nice because it leaves lots of possibilities but sometimes that's a problem for me. In the end I stuck to stitched simplicity. (Of course it was easy to stick to the basics with the new glittery dsp and pink cord brads that arrived at my door yesterday.) Sometimes we complicate things when we try to add or show too much and the message gets lost. It can be the same thing in our everyday lives too, can't it?
Thanks so much for taking a peak. I wish you a simple but heartfelt week ahead.
